One year ago today
1 year ago today when Logan was 3 weeks and 6 days old, he was diagnosed with CHD I will never ever forget that day, the day our lives changed and I remember everything about it even the conversations. Its brought back alot of painful memories but also made me proud of how far he has come and I wouldnt be without my little Logan Bean!

Logans 1st Birthday
WOW 1year old already! I truly cannot believe what a year we have had and that we made it this far but Logan I would not EVER change you for the world and you are my special Beany pie...you have taught me so much over the past year and changed me as a person. I realise whats important in life and who is important in my life.
I wanted the world for you on your 1st ever birthday and I pray we have many more to come.
We got you a huge helium 1 balloon along with a mickey mouse one and a happy 1st birthday one. You had a lovely Mickey Mouse cake. You got so many presents....a bike, a piano, handy manny tools, winnie the pooh spinning top, dumbo teddy, mickey mouse bath toys, plastic bath ducks, money, a ghetto blaster for babies, a tatty teddy, some MILKYBAR BUTTONS! and much more that Ive forgotten right now.
I hope you had a special day my special guy, even though you wont remember it!

22q Clinic and general update!
Well Logan now weighs 16lb 3oz! Yayyy for milkybar's! He can roll everywhere now and we cant wait for his 1st birthday in 2 weeks...I honestly never thought we would make it this far!
Had 22q clinic on 26th April. Logan is developmentally at the age of a 4-5 month old baby but he hopefully will catch up eventually. Brendan is being tested for ADHD and his speech will also come on eventually.
Was a long day and I was glad to get home!

RSV Positive
January 19th: Logan was taken to hospital with what sounded like a chesty cough. SATS were in the 60's and a secretions sample proved he was RSV positive and it had developed into bronchilitus.
January 20th: Logan got progressively worse and was just worn out. I came home to sleep while Lee stayed the night with him. A phone call at 8.45pm told me Logan had stopped breathing briefly, SAT's dropped to the 30's and he needed intensive care facilities. I raced to the hospital where he was labelled "Critical" and later that night was intubated. CAT's team were ringing round for a bed and one become available at Southampton. They made a 2hr journey to collect Logan who by then was hooked upto a ventilator, monitors and wires. The retreival team then put all their machines onto him and after an hour and half of preparing him for the journey he was ready to go. At 5am Logan was airlifted away to Southampton while we returned home to sort out his brothers.
January 21st: We arrived at Southampton PICU at about 3pm, Logan was on a ventilator and heavily sedated. It was also found he had a water infection. He was having a blood transfusion to help his blood carry oxygen around his body. Slowly over the course of the day he was weaned off the ventilator and on the Friday and Saturday he was put onto Sipap where he was able to breathe for himself with a little help.
On the Sunday he was only on a tiny amount of oxygen and was allowed back to Kings Lynn on the Monday where he finished his antibiotics and was weaned off oxygen. He had a scan on his kidneys which shows his left kidney has reflux and is on antibiotics until further scans can be arranged.
On Thursday 28th January Logan came home :) We had to cancel our holiday to Disneyland but his health was far more important!
